Peeled and cored green apples filled with peanut butter and coated in chocolate with chopped candy toppings.

Ingredients

  • 1-2 green apples
  • ½ cup peanut butter room temperature; can also use caramel
  • 7 oz semi or dark chocolate
  • chopped candies and nuts leftover Halloween candy, salted peanuts, or flake salt
  • silicone mold
  • round cookie cutter

Method

  1. Melt chocolate in a medium bowl at 30 second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted. If chocolate seizes, add 1 tsp of vegetable shortening to make it smooth again.
  2. Add a small amount of melted chocolate to the silicone mold and coat the sides of the circle.
  3. Slice and core your green apple. Using a round cookie cutter, cut your apple to size to fit the mold.
  4. Place one apple slice inside each chocolate filled cavity and add a tablespoon of peanut butter or caramel to the center of the apple. Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
  5. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the apple with a spoon or piping bag. Add chopped candies or salted peanuts or flake salt. Refrigerate for another five minutes then serve immediately.

Notes

These must be made the day of and eaten within hours since the apples are peeled and cored. You don't have to peel your apple if you use small green apples that fit in the mold.
